i bought a lexmark x1290 yesterday and have spent the entire trying to install it without any luck, to the point i'm verging on a nervous breakdown,

the problem seems to be relating to the fact that the virtual printer port is no longer available as an option to setup the install, and when i'm trying to install from the disk, i'm getting a error msg telling me to make sure all cables are connected, which they are, also, it's telling me theres a code 28 when trying to install the drivers, i'm at a total loss,

also, the detect new hardware function is seeing it as a usb hub???

i'm using win2k pro and a p3 1ghz

i also had a p707 installed and working untill the lexmark advisor told me to uninstall it and now it's not being recognised either,

any help is greatly appreciated.
